Dual heat sterilisation in the MCO-170AICD and MCO-170AICUVD utilises the incubator’s two heaters during the 180°C sterilisation process, which takes 11 hours. There is no effect on temperature inside stacked incubators due to low heat dissipation, so cell culturing can continue uninterrupted. There is no need to remove inner parts or recalibrate after sterilisation, therefore laboratory processes are more efficient with less incubator downtime.
